If you don't mind me asking, why are you thinking of changing over?

Yes, you can set a default. Check up to see whether the Oxford English Spanish is any good. I use the Oxford-Hachette on a Sony. It's okay, but it's not as good as the Collins which is what I would use for professional translation. However, the Hachette is more than good enough for casual reading in French. Can't comment on the Spanish specifically.

Yes, I think the T2 runs Evernote. You could also root a T1 and I imagine it would run Evernotes, though I'm not 100% sure.

It might be possible but I would guess it would be a project to do it. I read elsewhere that exporting annotations from a Kindle is easier than it is with a Sony (though I'm not that familiar with T1/T2). Don't take it for granted. It might be harder to export on a Sony.
